I am hoping that means there is no moon. Otherwise, I think the sun may have died out, or is about to. Or at night we just get this nice shiny marble in the sky.

I think we've just lost the sun
I was looking at my desktop weather widget the other night and saw this:

To storm and storm often
July 2, 2008, a series of severe thunderstorms rolled through West Michigan. While the most reckless thing I did during the storm was take a shower while still in the at-risk area for lightning, other people went out of their way to get video in a daring situation. And, to be honest, if I had a good digital videocamera, I would be out being reckless as well. To supplement that, I have posted some videos that people have sent in to WOODTV.com.
Clouds swirling around. Nothing tornado-like in that video, but still creepy.
Torrential rain, wind and hail at RiverTown Crossings mall:
The fact that there is no sound makes this brief video of the strong winds almost more fearful.
This is a good video of the hail. And you can't help but agree with the narration.
This is an even creepier video, showing an even stronger rotation in Clinton County.

I saw a tornado on LIVE TV
I was in my room, enjoying a mid-afternoon snack after having mowed the lawn. Buzz came into the room - enjoying the last few days of sharing a room with me, I'm sure - and turned on the television in order to play GameCube. The television had last been on the FOX News Channel, you see. So he turned it on and my eyes instinctively went to see what was on. He had quickly hit the "Input" button to get to the gaming system. But in that brief second, I recognized something. Something amazingly incredible, rare and magnificent. THIS:
A TORNADO. On live television. Taken with one of those helicopter cameras that can zoom in for miles and miles.
Normally when you get to see a tornado video, it's edited. All the choppy parts are gone, only the highlights are left. And it's usually not more than a minute or two. This video was real, raw and long. We saw the tornado go back up into the cloud, then come back down and hit the ground. Over and over again. It was almost chilling to realize that you were seeing this big, black thing as it actually happened.
